RI: Easy to find Oceanus Procellarum. Mons Rümker is west of the crater Mairan. The area is otherwise featureless. Seems to have an open end like a crescent-shaped bay. The Mons clearly rises from the Oceanus Procellarum floor.
C1: The diamond depression in central Mons Rümker created a shadow on the peak, its crease walls were well illuminated.
